What's the most convenient way to wipe these images? (I'm just talking about 
individual VM images)

I'm on Qubes 4.0, and I understand it's not that simple on SSDs, but whats the 
situation?

I see that /dev/mapper has a number of links to ../dm devices, these are 
encrypted, right? Where is the key stored? How is that stored on disk, and is 
it likely to leave fragments all over the drive?

Can a `shred -vzn 7` be done on these devices? Does it effectively erase the 
data?

I see that within /dev/mapper there's foo--private, foo--private--{0-9}+--back, 
and foo--private--snap. What's the difference between these? How are they 
created and used?

Am I right in thinking that only the private images hold VM specific states? 
What about foo--volatile?
